bumper mod

I like the little turn signal lights as well. Do you have signal lights and if so did you buy a kit or your own fabrications.

That's sweet, Very nice job! It adds just enough to stand out, but still looks factory!

made my own turn signals. those are led marker lights set of ten on eBay pretty cheep they go in a 3/4 hole.
a 3 way switch on the dash. and a 9 dollar heavy-duty led flasher from advanced auto parts.
all very simple. I found last summer I spent a lot of time running around town and it was a pain in the a## zipping down the window and sticking my arm out at traffic light.

Nice I'll have to try it again.I tried in the summer using led clearance lights and a turn signal switch from a big truck and used a led flasher but for some reason I couldn't get it to flash. The lights would just stay on and not flash so not sure what I was doing wrong. Kinda lost interest in making them untill I saw yours ,now its got my interest sparked to try again.

Like it someone finally showed some initiative.
I was doing nothing more than thinking about doing something to make the factory bumper a bit more effective at being a bumper and looking more aggressive. Haven't figured it out for myself yet though.

spifyd, Did you run turn signals to the rear? If so, could you post pics of that? What kind of switch did you use?

Spifyd, can you take some close ups of that rear winch???

I like that... Translation, I am going to copy you at some point.

I like that. I think I am going to borrow your idea. What gauge wire did you run for those?

don't really know what ever came with the winch. the axillary battery is right in front of it.

Most come with @8-10' of 4ga.

Any longer and you might need a larger wire, it depends on the amp draw of the winch. I wouldn't go any smaller though they have a fairly high amp draw.

I like the rear mounted winch. I just bought another one to do the same thing. Do you have clearance issues with the dump bed?

What kind of shocks are you running? How do you like them? Your rig looks awesome!

Spifyd, very nice set up on both. That bumper mod seem like the ticket for heavier brush riding. The longer I ride the more I want to add signals. I get out on the country roads around here and my concern with hand signaling is many of today's drivers think your waving to them. I also have problems with autos getting right on my arss. Are those signals bright enough to get the attention of followers so they are clear on your intention for direction.
